[QUOTE="aushunter, post: 326140, member: 195"] If you weld on some lugs/joiners from each star picket and bolt together in a staggered way it should be enough as the main force is a downward one. As long as the trucks are only pushed/pulled in a straight line i think it would hold for a while. I remember when we where kids, dad used to work in a sawmill and it was relocated leaving the old sawmill in a shamble. but there where plenty of tracks and so on even wheels so we made our own rail track that ended up being over 250m long, it was on reasonable even ground but the last 100m or so end up going down hill towards the dam. We had fun on that thing regardless of the dangers until we all ended up into the dam, trolley and all, reckon the wheels would still be there today. Brad [/QUOTE]
